The Whale Reviews
The Atlantic
David Sims
I am not opposed to body horror, but the genre is best suited to vulgar ends. The Whale is presenting itself as something noble and, ultimately, uplifting, but it just can't make that sale.
Huffington Post
Candice Frederick
The movie might largely be remembered for being somber, an emotion that stays at the forefront of the narrative, but it's optimism that buoys its ending.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Fraser deserves praise for his buried-under-makeup performance, but that's not enough to keep the movie afloat.
Observer
Rex Reed
Whatever 'The Whale's many imperfections, Brendan Fraser's relentless display of craft and courage is a must see.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"The Whale" doesn't make a lunge for your emotions. It earns them.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
Stagy and sometimes overwrought, but it really is a heartbreaking, emotional journey.
Crooked Marquee
Jason Bailey
The script is absolute drivel, a patently phony work that betrays its roots as a stage play at every turn.
BuzzFeed News
Elamin Abdelmahmoud
What appeared to be a well-meaning film has ended up as part of a long line of art about fat people that ends up trafficking in the same tropes around representing fat people. The Whale is a movie that doesn't know when it should have flinched.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
In every scene, every moment, practically, Fraser strives for and often succeeds in finding something more than cheap pathos.
The Reveal (Substack)
Scott Tobias
Most of the conflicts in The Whale are overcooked nonsense, contrived for dramatic impact but divorced from any recognizable reality.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It features one great and a couple of really good performances. But it is not a great movie. I'm not even sure it's much of a good one.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
A searing, moving experience.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A murky-looking, claustrophobic exercise in emotionalism at its most trite and ostentatiously maudlin.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The Whale is messy and compromised, but finds its honesty in the emotional core of its lead performance. See it for Fraser, try and drown out the rest.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
Aronofsky has proven he can direct, so what to make of the fact that this film is so hateful and vile?
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
Fraser's choices are so subtly intelligent that we barely notice what amounts to his costume, so attuned are we to the way his Charlie teeters on the brink of life and death.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Fraser delivers the best work of his career.
WXIX-TV (Cincinnati, OH)
tt stern-enzi
It's an amazing film.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
There's nothing consciously sinister about THE WHALE's use of Charlie's eating disorder (the original play was, in fact, written from experience), but Aronofsky's adaptation is cruel, not just to Charlie's character, but to all of them.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
This chamber piece amounts to a variation of torture porn for highbrows, with a fat suit rather than a meat cleaver as the bringer of cinematic shock.
